Overview

The node integrates with the Vista Social platform to retrieve data related to social media content and interactions. Specifically, for the Comment resource with the List operation, it fetches a list of comments associated with a particular post. This is useful in scenarios where users want to analyze or display comments on posts, such as monitoring engagement, performing sentiment analysis, or aggregating user feedback.

Practical examples include:

  • Gathering all comments from a specific post to moderate or respond.
  • Extracting comment data for reporting or analytics dashboards.
  • Integrating comment data into CRM or customer support workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Post ID The unique identifier of the post whose comments you want to list. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of comments retrieved from the specified post. Each item in the output corresponds to a single comment object with details such as comment text, author information, timestamps, and potentially other metadata provided by the Vista Social API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically represent media attachments within comments, but this is not evident from the provided code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Vista Social API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://vistasocial.com/api/integration.
  • The node expects JSON responses and sends requests with appropriate headers (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Post ID: Since the Post ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause errors or empty results. Ensure the Post ID is valid and correctly entered.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or token is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the credential is properly set up in n8n.
  • API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or hitting API rate limits may cause request failures. Check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
  • Unexpected response structure: If the API changes its response format, the node might not parse the output correctly. Monitor for any breaking changes in the Vista Social API.
